1. the commodore ship is the colours of the Australian aboriginal’s traditional flag.
2. The left head of the three headed champion fighter has Taika Waititi’s face.
3. In the scene where Thor is being nursed in Hulk’s room, 1 woman is Hemsowrth’s wife and another is Waititi’s wife.
4. The shot where they pan from Loki and Valkyrie to the reflection in the floor was nicknamed “The greatest shot in the history of cinema” by the crew.
5. Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston are not in fact brothers. Crazy.
6. The line “He’s a friend from work!” was actually thought of by a young boy who visited the set as part of ‘make a wish’. He told Chris to say it as he thought it was funny, and now it’s the most famous line from the film!
7. Jeff Goldblum would sometimes just ad-lib for 4-5 minutes at a time, and it would be incredible.
Y’all know they only said it was “the greatest shot in the history of cinema” because it’s got two great views of two great asses.
“Every time I play Loki, and this is a source of constant surprise and
delight to me, is that people love him so much. And I think it’s because
people can relate to him in some way. He’s an outsider. He’s a misfit.”
— Tom Hiddleston
Loki is someone, as I built him, that I found interesting because…
We all know Hiddleston is the ultimate Loki stan, nothing new here— except I felt like drawing attention to the fact that in this quote, he could have easily called Loki a nerd/geek/bookworm/etc as a foil to Thor’s quarterback. Yet Tom specifically uses the word “artist.” (Don’t apologise, its a perfect word!)
I especially enjoy this because of the way we tend to first define whether one is “artful” or “artless” predominately by measuring their cunning, cleverness and guile— which then becomes an indicator of their creativity, skill, and taste.
And now I want to dig out my copy of Lewis Hyde’s Trickster Makes This World and ignore all the other things I’m supposed to be working on today.
Conceive a costume of this scale… You’re risking ridicule, I mean, it’s a monster costume and the last thing you want is to rather look silly or camp and yet it has to look larger than life and heroic. (…) My costume particularly does so much of the work for me ‘cause Loki’s silhouette is so incredibibly menacing and those clothes are so mean and it’s leather and metal and gold.’
Yet you manage to look so incredible….
Is he trying to say that the sweat pulls his chest hair…?
“Part of the backstory we created was that Frigga was really the most attentive to Loki when he was a child. And Odin didn’t really know how to connect. He connected much more with Thor. They were sort of cut from the same cloth. And Frigga and Loki had this kind of beautiful, sensitive, more artistic relationship. And it was actually her who taught him all his magic.”
